Hudson, N.H. store fails in alcohol compliance check

HUDSON, N.H. -- Any teen looking to score some easy alcohol could be flat out of luck.

Police and the state of New Hampshire's Bureau of Liquor Enforcement sent an underage decoy into 24 stores on Tuesday to buy alcohol, and 23 turned the buyer away.

According to a statement by police, the minor is instructed not to misrepresent their age and show identification if asked. If the business sells alcohol to the minor, a Hudson officer and Bureau of Liquor Enforcement officer enter the business and contact the server and the business owner.

The only business to fail was Palmer's Market. The server will receive a courts summons for a Class B misdemeanor and will be required to attend a mandatory class. The business will be fined administratively as well as being assessed points to their state liquor license.

A business with 12 or more points in one calendar year may have their license suspended.
